Her PPD formula was adopted as the internat'l standard (1952) & remains the gold standard for TB testing today. #WorldTuberculosisDay #WomenInSTEM

The only time I saw a porcupine in the wild was in NB. It was dead by the side of the road. ☹️ We were returning home to Ohio from a vacation that took us as far as PEI. While waiting for the ferry to PEI we saw the total eclipse of the sun later mentioned in Carly Simon's "You're So Vain".

What kind of country permits one man to destroy all it has built over the last centuries, simply because he was elected?

When the narrative shifts this fast, it’s not evidence of a conspiracy, it’s evidence of a lie struggling to keep up with itself. Lies trip you up when your story changes.👇

War going so badly Trump considering faking his own assassination again.

Today I heard about an interesting book on a public radio station show, then when I got home I went to the website for my local public library and requested it. I'll have it tomorrow for free. This is precious. We must protect this.

Republicanism, conservatism, is not consistent with the values of a democracy.

No, ICE shouldn't be allowed to spread their domestic terrorism all over our Country, or in our damn airports. They should be dismantled.

On the front of every vote counts: We had a school funding ballot initiative because of a budget crisis that was a live-or-die situation for hundreds of jobs in our public school system. It just passed by (wait for it) 13 votes. Out of thousands. Don't skip any election. Not one.

Gotta love the Canadians... Right now there is a big push for them to forego buying the US-Made F-35 fighter jets in favor of buying Swedish-built jets instead. The proposed designation for this new jet would be the FU-47.

Whatever else happens, I swear to God John Fetterman’s days in the US Senate are numbered. Purposeful or not, the man bamboozled the hardworking folks who helped elect him. Shameful.

Ugh. I'm discouraged. People told me I was a good writer. I wrote a book. Nobody is buying it. I have a blog. Nobody is reading it. What now? #booksky #writing

Japanese diver Hiroyuki Arakawa still visits Yoriko, a fish he saved almost 30 years ago, and they share a rare and beautiful friendship in the ocean 🥹💙😎

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Egads, everyone in the world knows he's going to order the Marines to take the strait by force this Friday, claiming Iran backed out of (imaginary) negotiations. Also, "We're going to keep bombing our little hearts out." Who says shit like that?

Things You Don‘t Know In 2019, a history professor wrote a Facebook post explaining Trump's first impeachment. No drama. No outrage. Just context. By the time she got home, thousands had shared it. She wrote again the next night. And the next. Now nearly 3 million people read her every word.

The U.S. gov. is insolvent. It’s the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Dep.’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal yr. 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 T in total assets against $47.78 T in total liabilities as of Sep. 30, 2025.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran says US refused to accept two basic conditions for ending the war: 1. "Paying reparations" 2. "Admitting it's aggression against Iran."

saw someone tweet that the point of ice at airports is to get people accustomed to the police state as an everyday thing, and i remember when people made that same (correct) point about tsa in the naughts

Virginia lawmakers passed a new bill that lets people use small plug-in #solar panels on #balconies to make some of their own electricity ☀️🔌. These portable panels can produce limited power (around 1,200 watts), helping renters and apartment residents lower energy bills without big construction 🏙️💡.

I wish everyone contributed more to the social aspect of political awareness. Not just during election time. So many want to ignore it to “keep the good feelings” or “not bring down the vibe”. But the vibe will be gone if all of our rights are taken away. We all have to care.

Is the world really going to have to burn because the USA can't impeach a president?

Dolly wants you to know that everything is fucked but she’s still a very good girl.

Bruce Springsteen apparently can’t get enough of the Twin Cities. Before he kicks off his tour in Minneapolis, he’ll perform at the No Kings rally on Saturday at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul.

This is literally the only thing i have the bandwidth to read about today

It's just struck me that in a situation where the US government and the Iran government have made contradictory statements, as they have today, I'm now inclined to think the Iranians are telling the truth than the Americans. This is Not Good.

Post it in the bulletin board. You may never see it again!
